^ , Thq negro preachers of New York city have me
C.' worked themselves into a frenzy over thedis- 11
-. charge of the three companies of negro 90I- paI
?~* dlers of the Twenty-Fifth United Slates In- ,rri
fantry. Tney have arraigned the President aln
and passed resolatlons from the pulpit galore, rat
I"';, of which the following is an example: t0 1
"That the action of the President of the ^
?~. ' United States is most heartily disapproved d,e
by us, and U so much the more disapproved bee
by us because of the high regard we have ed
hitherto cherished for him." "
A nice kettle of flsh Indeed ! to?
Tn addition to this some sodden-in-bate dre
for-tbe-South, pro Africano, right or wrong, hu:
members of New York and Philadelphia so- tw<
olety have read of the disbanding of these lefl
companies In some spicy little sheet and the do'
resolt 1b that these disgraced soldiers are to lea
be brought to New York and cared for as Is hul
* befitting martyrs. - **
Another nice large kettle of flsh! 0V(
Of coarse these negro preachers and white cln
philanthropists (?) know more about the at- fal1
, fair than the President. The President made wlt
?n egregious blander In not consulting these e8P
fellows before taking any action. The ground I'
j on wbloh the President disbanded these com- ,he
panles was their having conoealed murder! 8UT
ergo, they are martyrs. rea
All are familiar witb that Texas affair 11
which caused the trouble, and It Is not neoes- we
ary to reproduoe the Incident here. It Is a get
dlffloult thing for the Anglo-Saxon to keep ohB
